We received our gifts, and immediately opened them, to see what they were. After you received your gifts, you only looked at the outside, and didn’t open, so it looks as if you are not like us, wanting to know what’s inside. Why is this?

We open gifts and take a look, to compliment the gift, show our appreciation, this is respecting the gift giver. Of course, we also want to get a surprise. I don’t understand your custom, do you not like other people giving you gifts?

Of course not. What’s not to like about friends giving gifts? When we receives gifts from friends, in general we do not immediately open them, this is also to respect the gift giver. We feel that what is given is not important. People often say “it’s not the gift that counts, but the thought behind it”, friendship is most important.
